Thanks for that. I've done the controller update and it worked fine. One ramification of that RC update is that "pinching" the screen to change the map size on my iPad Mini 4 appears to be less predictable than it used to be, especially when trying to zoom in close. I will take it for a flight this morning to see how it behaves whilst actually operating.
Edit. I've now had a chance to use up my three batteries on test flights following the Drone, RC and App updates.
All appears to be the same apart from the obvious changes to the screen layout on the App (addition of distance to RC as well as distance to home point is a nice feature in the App - I don't think the distance to RC was there previously, was it?). Zooming in on a map using the app is difficult and nowhere near as smooth as it was before. It's a nuisance.
I also tested the new left stick-down-right/RTH button combination and it seems to stop the motors faster than the old CSC action (CSC still worked as well as the new combination).
For me, all is well (apart from the "pinch" zooming on the app) after the updates but I really feel for those who have had problems with this firmware update. I'd have to say that, during my first test flight today, I was just as nervous, if not more nervous, than the first P3 flight that I ever made. By the end of the third battery, I was able to regain some confidence.
